How to Make an Egg Shell Mosaic
From your Guide

Save the shells from your Easter eggs and use them to make a great mosaic picture!

Difficulty Level: Easy    Time Required: 40 minutes


Here's How:
  1. Save all the shells you peel off your Easter eggs!
  2. Break the colored egg shells into small enough pieces so that they are fairly flat.
  3. Draw a design on a dark piece of posterboard.
  4. Working in small sections, use a cotton swab or an old paint brush to liberally spread glue onto your design.
  5. Stick the egg shell pieces, colored side up, onto the glue.
  6. Continue with step 4 and 5 until your design is completely filled in with egg shells.
  7. Set your mosaic aside to dry completely.


Tips:

  1. You can also use lighter colored posterboard, but the dark paper really sets off the colors of the egg shells!
  2. If you like, you do not have to draw a design.
